I've got coyotes moving in on me here recently and my cat is my buddy, and I fear he's gonna be coyote supper before too long. Whats a good do it yourself way of hunting these things? I've seen the tapes and calls and stuff. Is that all i need?

also, I've got a mosin, a Marlin 60 .22, and a Mossberg 500 12 GA, (along with a G22 and a .44 blackhawk, which I'll rule out.) Whats best for a yote gun? I really don't want to buy another rifle. Thanks

Never hunted Yotes but I would say the Mosin would be too much. The marlin with the right ammo like Velocitor would get the job done with good shot placement. The 12ga would work good at the appropriate range. Had a buddy a few years back that would bait them with expired meat from his local market, or dead pigs from a farmer friend of his. Gotta go some time and try this myself!

I have them in my back yard. From year to year it varies as to whether or not I feel they need to be controlled. This year, as last, their going to get some hell. They've been coming really close to my kids and not showing alot of fear. I've found when they behave this way, they're ready to be called in. I took a female, maybe 35 pounds, last year with a 10/22 and Velicitor ammo from about 50 yards. I prefer .223 for this but the Ruger was ready and close by and I just ran out when I heard them.

That is one big hole for an arrow. Sure that was not shot with a rifle?

After deer seasons over I'm gonna concentrate on killing coyotes. They are just everywhere in my neighborhood. I hear them every night.

Yotewhacker:

The blood around the entrance wound makes it look bigger than it is. However, the broadhead was a G5 striker magnum, fixed blade with 1.5" cutting diameter.

those are some sweet pics, i have yet to get one...hopefully after deer season I can focus on getting a yote

i haven't been seeing them like i usually do. there is still some standing corn around so that could be my problem.

I had my mom send me my Randy Anderson videos out here to afghanistan to get me all pumped up for some yoder dogs. 1 more month! Im going crazy im so excited to get the Bushy Varminter back out. Keep posting pics. It motivates the hell out of me.

 

[Eric86]

So what do you guys do with the coyotes after you kill them? Just bury them or take them somewhere to get the fur processed?

Bad deer hunt, but...

Well, I went out to hunt tonight only to find that my stand that I had wanted to hunt from was stolen! Private property that is well marked in Boone Co., but it was gone. Was pretty pissed about that, so I went over to the other side of the farm to one of my other stands and enjoyed watching a couple of squirrels while I waited for a nice deer to walk by. Never saw any deer, but on the way out I woke this guy up in some of the tall grass in front of my and nailed him from about 15 yards away. The 240 grain hornady xtps once again did a nice job from my marlin 1894, though a bit overkill for the range he was at. Still pissed about the stolen stand, but this guy softened the blow a bit. He was trotting away from me and you can see the entrance wound near his tail.

Nice coyote! Sorry your stand was stolen. Was it marked in any way?

 

[Jeffrey]

Thanks. No it was not marked. I guess I need to go around the property and mark all my stands and get locks for them. Pretty sad that one needs to do that on well marked private property.

 

[selinoid44]

That freakin SUCKS! That just burns my butt. I've had this hapen too and there is a couple woods that I hunt that the climber is all I will take.

Made my first hunt for yotes earlier this evening. Weather not the best, windy and the direction kept changing. Didn't see any, but I did call in a great horned owl on my first call series. He perched in a tree about 20 feet away looking for the rabbit making the racket then left when he figured out he got duped.

This thread motivates me to hunt coyotes. I want to give it a try with my AR. Any good places in north-central indiana?

Decided to coyote hunt last night instead of deer hunting and as I'm climbing up on some bails of straw in an old run down barn I see a herd of 8 deer within feet of my hunting blind just my luck. I set up there watching the deer for about a 30 minutes and right about dark I hit a rabbit distress call and I see her running on the same trail the deer where on 41 yards away so I raise my gun put the cross hairs on her and down she goes. This is the first coyote I've used the 243 on and all I can say is wow.
